XBox First Person Shooter Halo 2 is being used to "witness" among Christian gamers, according to The Christian Post (via Watercoolergames).
Apparently the plot of the million-selling video game is similar to that of the Bible: Lone survivor Master Chief (read: Jesus) saves the world from the Covenant (read: Satan and various other evil). Actually, I was playing it at the weekend and was shouting quite a few unholy things.
In fact, what Christian ministries are arguing is that, while there are quite a few non-Christian aspects to the game, its cultural relevance offers the opportunity to talk to other gamers about issues arising from the game, from violence to death.
From the article:
"So the next time you are hanging out with friends who know Halo but don't know God, try bringing up a conversation about the storyline behind planet earth."
